RS232 or Parallel port based keyboards and joysticks - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

16 Dec 2002

Hi
 I usually use my laptop as a RS232 terminal. With a
little software, you can even emulate a parallel keyboard
...
 from the printer port.  Joysticks are a
completely different issue. Some Joysticks
are digital while others are analog. Most that I know of
don't connect to RS232.

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a keyboard that either plugs into an RS232 
/ RS422 or Parallel Port?  Ditto for a joystick.  I want to connect a 
keyboard to a transputer array for stand-alone operation and I already have 
RS232 / Parallel ports on the array.

Thanks,

Ram
